The ''Ciclone'' class were a group of torpedo boats or destroyer escorts built for the Italian Navy which fought in the Second World War. They were slightly enlarged versions of the previous Orsa class, with improved stability and heavier anti-submarine armament. These ships were built as part of the Italian war mobilization programme and completed in 1942-43. ==Armament== All units were fitted with an asdic, and also torpedo launchers were present in the same quantity and placement for all units of the class.
